Top Mortgage Lenders 2012 Rankings

Scotsman Guide is proud to present our first annual Top Mortgage Lenders rankings of the nation's top-producing mortgage companies. We believe Top Mortgage Lenders 2012 is the mortgage industry's most comprehensive, most intensely verified list of its kind. The lists will appear in the June 2013 residential edition of Scotsman Guide. If you have any questions or are interested in receiving notifications for next year's Top Mortgage Lenders call for entries,
let us know.

Everyone working in the mortgage industry knows about the success the big banks enjoy. Wells Fargo & Co. closed nearly 30 percent of home loans in 2012 and earned almost $12 billion from mortgages. JP Morgan Chase & Co., U.S. Bank, Bank of America Corp. and Quicken Loans rounded out the top five in terms of market share. But what about the other mortgage lenders out there? Which lender is originating the most wholesale loans? What retail-branch operation is growing the fastest? What company is tops in the hard-money niche?

We wanted to know the answers to these questions — and more. So we created Scotsman Guide's Top Mortgage Lenders rankings to find out what companies — outside of the top five — were making the biggest splash in the mortgage-lending industry.
